OLD COLONY MEMORIAL – The Anthony F. Cordeiro Charitable Foundation announced that in its first grant cycle of 2019, six grants totaling $40,000 were awarded to area nonprofit organizations for a variety of activities that support the organization’s mission, including To The Moon and Back in Plymouth.
TTMAB received $1,500 to help the organization continue its work to help children born substance exposed and their caregivers by hosting support groups and providing peer support to families by increasing their awareness of existing community resources.
The Anthony F. Cordeiro Charitable Foundation serves communities within Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Its mission is to enrich the lives of families and children who are burdened by life’s challenges by providing access to vital resources including, but not limited to: health and mental health services, food and shelter. Funding is awarded twice/year to nonprofit organizations that provide vital services and programming.
“Our mission is powerful in its simplicity,” Executive Director Melanie Cordeiro said in a statement. “We provide access to vital resources that most people take for granted – visiting a doctor, talking to a counselor, having enough food to eat, having a place to call home, or sleeping in a bed.”
